"and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, though he doesn’t know how." (Mark 4:27)
The Mystery of Growth
This parable relieves the anxiety of the sower. Once the seed (the Word) is sown, the earth produces fruit "by itself" (automap).
It teaches us to trust in the inherent power of the Gospel. We sow the seed, but it is God who gives the increase and brings the harvest in His time.
Key Lesson: Trust in the power of God's Word. We sow the seed, but God brings the growth.
